Read your third
graders Aunt Flossie's Hat (and Crab Cakes Later). It tells about
two children who visit their Aunt. She gives them hats to try on, then
tells stories/memories about the hats. Bring in hats for the children
to wear that week. They'll love them. They'll put them on, read the
book, and "...simply be adorable."
Another mahvelous,
simply mahvelous, book is Miss Fannie's Hat by Jan Karon.
And there are
many, many more! Simply check in the Children's Section of your Library!
